"What's the occasion?" Sophia asked the maid who brought to her the huge white box that contained a scarlet red dress in it. "Sir Caden didn't say anything. He inly told me to bring it to you and...umm, for you to hurry and go downstairs." The maid said, and hurriedly left the room after she finished her task.Sophia didn't know what it was about, but seeing the expensive dress in front of her, then it must be something important....While Sophia got dressed upstairs and prepared herself. Two men wearing a quite smlimilar blue suit sat comfortably on the living room, with their leg's crossed. Their features slightly alike, from their phoenix eyes, sharped jawline, and handsome features that separates them from the average ones."You're being too cold again Caden, you should try treating her better this time around." Cole, Caden's cousin and best friend said, looking at him with an exasperated expression."She's the one who did wrong this time. I have no reason to be lenient with her.
Sophia and Caden were still stuck in the party. Both entertaining guest who came up to talk to them, and didn't have time to accompany each other.Sophia was deeply exhausted from speaking with people, but didn't show it on her face.She wanted to go somewhere to breath for a minute and wanted to tell Caden but seeing him so preoccupied, she chose to leave without telling him and exited through the back door. She walked in the long hallway trying to find an open space until she spotted a rather huge balcony. Deciding to take a rest there, she walked, and soon felt the night breeze hitting every part of her body. She shivered, hugging her body, and then went at the edge to look at the wonderful scenery. The place was mostly filled with trees, and the landscape was beautifully executed. She raised her head up, looking at the twinkling stars as a smile slowly made it's way in her face. "This is nice." She breathed in the night air and stretched her arms. "It is isn't it?" Sophia got
"What?! Really? Why didn't you say anything to us before. You and Caden are really getting a divorce?" Kate squealed in excitement, happy for Sophia who for her, have finally woken up from her nightmare."Will you stop that Kate, Sophia is in a wreck right now. Can you be more sensitive?" Klare nudged her friend who was overly delighted by the news.A week has passed since Sophia moved to her own condominium. She didn't told her parents abot the news yet, or rather she doesn't want to since she's afraid of how they'll react. Based on her friends stories she always told her family that they were fine, and if she were to break the news to them like this, they'd probably suspect them and it won't end good for her."What's there to be sad about this? She finally escaped the cage Caden built for her. She's free mow for godsake." Kate threw her hands in the air standing up catching a lot of attention from the people who were at the other tables.She got embarrassed and whispered a sorry, b
In the brightly lit room. Sophia laid peacefully on the bed, her face glistening as the rays of the sun hit her fair face."Ugh~" She grunted, covering her face with the white blanket, and turning over. "Someone please close the curtain!" She yelled, thinking that she was at home.Soon enough, the door opened, and she thought it was one of their maids who walked inside to close the curtains for her. But when she heard the low chuckle the person let out, her face scrunched. "You can leave when you're done." She said softly."Wow, I didn't know you can be quite bossy." Sophia's eyes instantly opened and she moved the blanket away to see a man standing in front of her.Her vision was still hazy, she rubbed her eyes with her hands and after a few seconds she squinted her eyes, trying to see who it was that was talking to her.When her vision finally cleared, she immediately shrieked, grabbed a pillow and threw it at Grey who was standing there with a sunny smile on his face. "What are
Three people are currently sitting silently inside a coffee shop located just in front of the Caldwell Corp. Sophia was criticizing Eve's every move. From the way she breathes, how many times she blinks, and how her hands constantly brushes against her husband's arms that were resting on the table."Hi Sophia, it's been a long time since we last saw each other. I heard you have lost your memories, so you must not remember me. I'm Eve." She introduced herself sweetly, raising her hand in front of Sophia. Sophia's lips curled upwards, applauding in her head at how good she was at her acting.'This woman really deserves an award, I bet she can even defeat those top actors in the industry.' She mocked in her head, looked at the hand in front of her, and then gazed at Eve with a taunting look."No need, I'm not interested in making an acquaintance with you." She said, crossing her arms and leaning he back to the wooden chair."Sophia..." Caden was not happy with what she said. "Caden it
"Why did you do that?" Caden asked Sophia the moment she got in through the door.It was past 10 PM but he patiently waited for her to talk to her about what happened. "Oh, well this is nice. You waiting for me instead of living your life on your own without a care in the world." Sophia said, smirking at him, and although she was smiling her eyes held a cold glint in them."Didn't you say that you want to get a divorce? Then why the fuck did you do that? Why fid you kiss me and embarass Eve?!" Caden couldn't restrain himself and shouted at her, feeling all the mixed up emotions in his heart that he can't understand.It was the first kiss they shared in a long time, the only time they ever slept together was just once in their whole marriage, and that was when he was wasted and took advantage of Sophia even though she didn't want to do it at that time."I was just exercising my rights as your wife. Plus, can you stop being too dramatic? At most it was just a peck on the lips." Sophia
"So what do you want to know?" Sophia faced her friends who were all looking at her intently. They were wondering why she suddenly called them all at once saying that she needed to talk to them. Soohia clasped her hands together in front of her, her face turning solemn, her eyes gradually failing, looking drained. "Guys, can you tell me one thing. And be honest with me." She began.Her friends all looked at each other, not uttering anything, but seems like they all figured out what this was about and nodded their heads at each other. "Sure," Marcus said, smiling comfortingly at Sophia. She then breathed heavily dropping her hands on the table."Is it true that I'm the one who pushed for our marriage?" She asked. She expected for all of them to at least have a reaction, but their faces remained neutral, having an understanding between them."I thought you guys would be uncomfortable with the question, but I guess you're already expecting this, huh?" Sophia lips curved upwards, show
(FLASHBACK: 7 years ago)~•••~•••~•••~•••~•••~•••~•••~•••~•••~•••~••••~•••~[KRING! KRING! KRING! KRING!]Inside a huge room, a girl was sleeping soundly, unaffected by the constant ringing of the alarm clock that was in the night table beside her bed.The flares of the sun were already penetrating the curtain, illuminating the whole room that was painted white with pink stripes at the edges."Hmmm..." The girl groaned, her hand getting out of her blanket, moving it around to turn off the alarm."Ow..." She gasped when she fluttered her eyes open, feeling dizzy because of the huge headache she was having. She got up and sat in a squatting position in her bed, leisurely looking at the time, her hazel eyes half open. She rubbed her eyes when she saw that it was already quarter to 8 O'clock thinking that she must be seeing it wrong, but when it still showed 7:45 her eyes bulged as she hastily threw her blanket away and run to the bathroom."Oh God! Why didn't anyone wake me up!" She yell
"Sophi... babe, wake up," Sophia groaned when she felt someone kissing her face. She never wants to be disturbed in her sleep, but when the person calling her stole a kiss on her lips, her eyes quickly opened, and the charming smile of her husband, Grey, welcomed her sight. His sparkling ocean blue eyes, looking at her with so much passion and love more than she can ever begin to describe."Babe, why are you waking me up, it's saturday," She groaned, moving further in the bed.But Grey also moved along with her, determined to wake his sleepy wife up. "If you don't want to get up then I'm also mot getting up, but I assure you, someone else more loud will come barging in if you don't get up now," Grey whispered in her ears as hugged her from behind. "So be it," Sophia replied without much care, and Grey chuckled at her indifference. He looked at the clock, and when it exactly ticked at 7:30 o'clock the door of their room also bursted open, revealing an angry looking Caius."Mommy, P
"Are you sure we're going to that damned island?" Sophia asked, wondering what got into Caden's head for choosing the island where they were trapped in as the location for their honeymoon. "Do you trust me?" Caden asked, gazing at her with soulful eyes that Sophia couldn't resist."Go away!""Hey~hey, why are you so hot today, did I do something wrong?" Caden asked, placing feathery kisses on her nape as she turned her back on him. "I already told you I don't want to go there, do you wish that I sleep on the sand? Is this your idea of a romantic honeymoon?" Sophia complained, huffing.Caden chuckled at her cuteness and didn't think much about the hurtful words she was saying. He stuck his tongue out and travelled it along her nape. Sophia could feel the wetness of his tongue moving along her skin.She tried to stop the moan from coming out of her mouth but she can't suppress it, not when Caden is sucking her sweet spot behind her ears that sent bolts of electricity all throughout h

In a humongous church located in the South Hills, people were clamoring. Every guest, every family, every relative was seated in the rows of chairs that was adorned with white petal roses. And in the altar stood two gentleman, one wearing a white tuxedo and the other wearing an earthy brown color."Are you nervous?" Axel asked Caden who was constantly fixing his tie whenever he got the chance. "I'm fine, just a little uncomfortable with this clothes I'm wearing," Caden replied, still struggling to fix the tie that was wrapped in his neck."Well if you say so, but as your best man, I advice you to breathe properly, because I'm sure the moment you see my sister, you will need to breathe sharply as you can," Axel said, displaying a lot of pride for his sister. It was known that Axel Williams loved his younger sister dearly, although they don't show it publicly, but as much as he can, whenever their paths cross, he would always shower her with the best treatment he can give. Caden di
(One Year Later) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~“I can’t believe you're getting married again. And to your ex-husband no less,” Kate exclaimed. But it was not out of disapproval, but she just really finds it funny how things travelled in a huge circle for Sophia. “Just zip it Kate, everything worked out well in the end so it’s not totally a bad ending for Sophia, plus this is good, Caius will have a father now, and they can finally torture each other and not drag anyone into their childish pranks~” Klare groaned hysterically on the last part.She just got back from County B and this was her and Aiden’s first time seeing Sophia after such a long time. And not to mention the little devil in disguise, Caius.She really thought that he was the purest and sweetest kid, but then, when she saw her supposedly long hair cut almost half its original length, she instantly knew not to go near that kid ever again. “I’m really sorry about what happened Klare, but you really also d
“Is this the first time you visit him?” Caden asked. They were now squatting in the grass in front of Grey’s tombstone. The day wasn’t getting any brighter and soon the whole cemetery will be covered in darkness, and the likeliness of fog to shroud isn’t too far fetched given the landscape and location of the place.They did nothing the whole time but sit and contemplate. Sophia upon hearing his question straightened her back and left Caden’s warm embrace to look him in the eye. A nostalgic expression appeared in her face, her eyes gradually dimming with sadness, “I haven’t got the courage before to visit him, the truth is…I might actually still be in denial before, that… he is really gone. It’s just so hard, knowing that I’ll never get to see him again,” Sophia muttered, her voice heavy with emotion.Caden nodded his head, “So what pushed you to finally come here?”“You, I guess,”“Me?” Caden pointed to himself in disbelief.“Well not just you, also Caius. I never thought he would
It is currently a Saturday morning. And Caden received a weird message from Sophia telling him that he should be at her house around eight o'clock.He didn't ask further about the reason why he was asking him to go and he just went there, perfectly neat, his jet black hair silked to the back, and he is wearing a more comfortable clothes this time. A grey sweatpants and a black shirt. When he rang the doorbell, there wasn't any immediate response. He waited for a couple of seconds again before ringing it and like the first time, no response.He was about to call Sophia but then he heard light footsteps coming from the other side. And soon enough, he could hear the locks clicking open and the door creaked."Uncle?" Caden looked down to see Caius wearing onesie dinosaur. He looked so cute, but he also looked like as if he just woke up.Caden scooped him in his arms and gave him feathery kisses as a greeting."Hello Buddy, where's your mom?" He asked, and the little boy groaned, feelin
"Baby, mommy will have dinner with uncle okay? You behave with auntie Kate and uncle Marcus and don't be naughty," Sophia spoke while looking at the mirror, putting on a light pink lipstick as she prepared for her and Caden's dinner tonight."Don't worry mommy, I will be good," Caius said, standing beside Kate as he looked cheekily at her.Kate looked at him with a dry smile already knowing that they will have a tiring evening ahead of them. Why did she even say 'yes' in the first place? She should have just told Sophia 'no' right? "Don't worry Soph, me and the little guy will have fun tonight," Marcus chimed in. Kate gave him a side look and sighed in her heart.Right...it was because of her boyfriend, him and Caius always got along well, but for some reason the little rascal disliked her, well not really dislike her, but he likes doing pranks to her and always successfully makes it appear like an accident.Like one time, when her and Marcus was babysitting him three months ago, Cai
"Mommy, Uncle, look! Caius is having so much fun!" Caius yelled as he bounced on the trampoline. Caden and Sophia stayed outside, looking at him with smiles on their faces.The awkward atmosphere still hasn't receded between the two of them. "What food do you like for lunch?" Caden suddenly asked on the side. "I'm okay with anything, but Caius on the other hand can be quite picky," Sophia said, waving at her son who looked at their spot."You shouldn't spoil him that much Soph, if he grows up to be a spoiled brat it won't be good for you," Caden said. And they exchanged gazes at each other, but Sophia didn't quite react kindly to what he said."I know my son well Caden, and I'm not spoiling him, he's just picky because of his allergies, and I don't think you're in the place to say things about how I should raise my son. I've done well for three years of raising him alone, and I don't need you to make snarky comments or anyone else's about my parenting style," Sophia harrumphed, cro
